No. A bully literally goes out of their way to attack people. They go find their victims because they want to do that.
I’m just passing by and do something they can 100% just ignore. However, looking at the army of down votes that hit all of their comments, I suspect I’m not the only one annoyed. Their posts are like getting a spam call. You can ignore them or you can have a little fun with the spammers
Look, we obviously disagree and I think we’ll continue to do so and I’d prefer to part amicably so I say this less to start a discussion and more just my personal opinion: I feel like, if you explained to an elementary school teacher that your behavior, actually, was different because you’re not going out of your way to bother your classmate, just whenever you bumped into them…such a distinction won’t mean much to them and your teacher’s still going to end up calling your parents because of your behavior.
Kind of. If i told the teacher “they were bothering me so i decided to bother them”, both our parents would get called. Neither of us is innocent. They didn’t " bump into me" by accident. They do it on purpose and everybody is asking them to stop. So they really can’t complain.
I’m fine with disagreeing. I just don’t like feeling that it ended with me failing to express my poi t of view properly. If I did explain it correctly and you disagree, that is fine by me

That’s entirely fair; I’m the same way.
I think the major difference (to me) is you’re putting typing words that they write for their own comments (of which you can easily ignore or block) on par with someone going out of their way to push you. It doesn’t really allow for any kind of plurality and sort of puts just annoying you on the level of personally targeting you for annoyance which feels like a major false equivalence. If simply commenting in a public space in the way they desire constitutes bothering you in a specific way, it feels on par with me feeling entitled to annoy people who spell “color” as “colour” just because it bothers me (it doesn’t, actually, but for the sake of example). It feels much more targeted than them targeting you.
Oh; like an elementary-school bully. Cool.
